Gans is the host school for the Class A district playoffs on Friday and Saturday. The Grizzlies will open play on Friday night against Cave Springs with the winner advancing to Saturday‘s final against Arkoma, which has a first-round bye. Arkoma doesn’t have a girls team this season, so the only district game in the girls’ bracket is Saturday‘s final between Gans and Cave Springs.
In Class B, Webbers Falls will host McCurtain, Braggs and Schulter for a district tournament that tips off with girls’ games on Thursday.
The Lady Warriors will play Schulter in the first round at 8 p.m. Thursday, while the Webbers Falls boys will play a first-round game at 8 p.m. Friday against Schulter. The finals are set for Saturday night.
District champions and runners-up will advance to next week’s regional tournaments in Classes A and B.
Classes 4A, 3A and 2A will open postseason play next week with district playoff games set for Feb. 20-21.
